The Snook and I recently bought tickets for Big Day Out this year. It’s a mega-huge rock festival. Apparently two years ago a young girl got crushed to death in the mosh pit during Limp Bizkit’s performance. The coroner’s inquest just ended today and he had harsh words for both the concert organizers and the band, who continued to play even when the crowd started crushing. To their credit, the organizers accepted their share of the responsibility and said they’ve made plans to avoid such accidents in the future. They also said that Limp Bizkit would never again be invited to play. Of course, Fred Durst then had to respond and say they wouldn’t come back anyway. What an ass clown. Anyhoo, I’m still looking forward to it nevertheless. I want to see the Foo Fighters, Jane’s Addiction, the Vines, PJ Harvey, and Kraftwerk. I just need to remember to steer clear of the mosh pit…

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
